Title: Chinswing - Where did they get this name (and the scary green monster...)

Chinswing says it makes "every conversation into a multi-user podcast". I'm very intrigued by the concept, but I've been putting off talking about this for a couple of reasons. First, I haven't tried it; second, the crazy green monster icon scares me; and third it needs some improvement (like access for Mac users - argh!). All that being said, I'm intrigued by the overall concept for carrying on an audio conversation online. From what I can tell, it is similar a blog where someone posts a topic of conversation and instead of others commenting with a written response, they create an audio response. This way it feels more like an actual conversation. While I love reading blogs, I have to admit I feel overwhelmed by all of the text and reading at times. Since I'm more of an auditory learner, this 'recreation' of a verbal conversation appeals to me. It is probably while I like listening to podcasts. Once again, we are seeing greater opportunities for differentiation, building connections and making information more accessible to different types of learners. Hopefully, this site will improve so you don’t have to download and install anything to be able to use it, as is the case now (and add Mac support - smile) 
 
I would love to know what you think. (sorry our comment feature is not working now!)
